I refer to Ms Justice Mary Irvine. Has a decision been made not to host this tribunal until after the Morrissey judgment appeal outcome has been delivered? I understand such a decision has been made but I want the Minister to confirm this. I have asked about the matter on many occasions and been told that it is happening. We will not reopen the debate but I think it is important to confirm the position.

On compellability, in respect of some of the more complex cases, there may be a requirement for representatives from the HSE to be witnesses at hearings. Is it the Minister's intention to require State employees such as the HSE to attend the tribunal?
